Do you want to grow fast and succeed as the experienced players have done in the past?? If so follow the guide and you will grow just as quickly if not faster!

This game takes time and dedication to build and develop your airline company. The ways of accomplishing this are numerous BUT there is only ONE truly found and proven method and it is THIS guide!

When you start the game, you start with $1,000,000 cash and a Boeing B737-800 passenger aircraft. You must take into consideration the number of times in a 24 hour period that you are able to play the game. Whether you are able to come online once, twice, thrice, four or even six times a day, this will determine how fast you can grow. You will need to purchase advertising to keep your planes full.

You are under no obligation to follow this guide but many of the most experienced players have tried almost every aircraft available in the game and from experience, the information given below works best if your goal is to build quickly in the shortest amount of time.

**Disclaimer: The original author of the Fast Track Guides was Black Flight Airlines and updated number crushing goes to Luzon Pacific Intl. Airlines. THANK YOU to you both for all your hard work!!**

Shall we get started???

Step 1:
Sell your Boeing B737-800 [when sale value is over 80% on the overview page]. To do this go to 'Hangar' link, then 'Your Fleet', then click on the Boeing 737 aircraft. Click 'close itinerary'. Now the sale money is deposited into your account.
Next step is to begin purchasing 4-5 Dassault Mercures (also referred to as DM for short) that can be found in the 'Hangar' under 'Dassault Aviation'.
So click on 'Dassault Aviation' and a pop up will show. Click on 'Dassault Mercure.' A pop up will appear and in A/C Reg put in any numbers or letters you wish (such as DM). Under 'amount to purchase' choose 4 or 5 depending on how much you can afford. It is best to buy 4 to allow for daily expenses.
Click 'purchase' YAY you made your first purchase on AM!

1a. Now, it is time to route the aircraft. So go to the 'flight' link, click on 'find route' and enter 1700 in the white box and click 'search'.
Find a route that is closest to the 1700 km range and with highest demand (such as 99%).
Now that you have found the route now click on it and 'create route' then 'show route' then 'create route' again (yes a lot of confirmation screens).
Once you have completed this you will see 'new route' pop up. Repeat these steps until you have routed all your DMs.
The total amount you will eventually buy is 200 Dassault Mercures. You will do this obviously as income allows (don't forget to factor in daily expenses/fuel, etc.)
Once you can afford another DM BUY IT. There is 0 benefit of leaving the money in your account.

Wait until you have 75 to 100 DMs before starting to cater your passengers. Do not advertise until you have created your 6th route.
For more on advertising see the end of this post.

Step 2:
Now that you are at 200 Dassault Mercures it is time to get the Seating Configurator Achievement.
This will allow you to convert all your seats to business class versus standard for your second aircraft.
This will allow for faster growth. More about this at the end of this post.

Step 3:
Once you hit 200 DMs begin to purchase the DC-10-10s aircraft which can be found in the Hangar under McDonnell Douglas until you have 200 of them.

So here you are now and you are making $137,700,000 (rounded down a bit) a day with the DM, $453,120,000 a day with the DC-10-10 plus $823,860,000 a day with the IL-96-400 giving you a running total income of about $1,414,680,000 a day. Congratulations!!!
Now you can now purchase 4 Sukhoi KR-860s a day building your fleet even higher and begin phasing out the DMs, first, then the DC-10-10s and finally the IL-96-400s!!

Step 5: (The new step!)

** Disclaimer: As you are already used to logging on twice a day this next step is recommended if and ONLY if you can maintain this schedule.
If you can not log in at least twice a day then skip to Scenario #1 below that is a one launch per day schedule**

Due to the AM Daily Maintenance Schedule which takes place at the same time, every other day at 0700 AM time Monday/Wednesday/Friday,
there is a way to make the KR-860 work that is going to help you out tremendously with stock value. As you are ready to begin phasing out the IL-96-400, here is what is recommended: Replace the IL-96-400 with the KR-860 on the IL-96-400 routes.

KR-860
*Suggested* Flight Time: 10 hours (twice a day flight on a range of 9,950km +/- 25KM)
NOTE: It is suggested flight time not max as twice a day allows for more chance of pax points.
Maximum Ticket Price: Approximately $9,950 X 408* business seats plus one standard seat $5,940 [business seats will average between 395 and 421 business pax plus 1 standard seat per flight [average is 408 business seats]
Total Gross Income: $4,059,600 X 2 = $8,119,200 per day minus expenses
Fleet of 600 KR-860 = $4,871,520,000
If you decide to use the A380-900 rather than the KR-860 you can do the same. However it is recommended that you buy the KR-860 first, then the A380-900.
**Note: Looking at the two aircraft, the KR-860 and the A380-900, it is suggested that you purchase the KR-860, 600 of them, and THEN replace with the A380-900. This will increase your Stock Value and will be the final phase of building your pax fleet.

A380-900
Max Flight Time: About 22 hours
Max Ticket Price: Approximately $19,950 x 412 averaged business seats (plus 1 standard seat-not factored due to demand variances) = $8,219,400!!
Total Gross Income: $19,950 x 429 x 600 = $5,135,130,000 ($5,990,985,000 with 700 pax routes) A DAY!!!**
**Note: You will average between 394 and 429 pax populations per flight on any given route and there are no guarantees you will ever have 100% pax population loads.

(Scenario #2-twice a day schedule)

Disclaimer: This step is ONLY advantageous if you can log on twice per day. If NOT use the above scenario.

Business Class Configuration:

A380-900

*Suggested* Flight Time: 12 hours (twice a day flight on a range of 11,400km)
NOTE it is suggested flight time not max as twice a day allows for more chance of pax points.
Maximum Ticket Price: Approximately $11,400 X 429* business seats plus one standard seat (1 standard seat-not factored due to demand variances)
Total Gross Income: $4,890,600 X 2 = $9,781,200 per day minus expenses
Fleet of 700 A380-900 = $6,846,840,000 per day minus expenses
*On any given route using the A380-900 you will average between 394 and 429 business seat pax populations plus 1 standard seat pax.
=======

Now that you are maxed out with pax routes it is time for CARGO!!

Start your cargo fleet with 5 Antonov AN-225, and 195 of the A380-800F aircraft.
You want to fly the wings off your cargo a/c and use the shortest routes (400km or less) Remember that in cargo, it is NOT the flight distance but the pounds carried that is important, but you have to know that shorter flight distances means more expensive airport fees. Do not purchase any a/c to be used as parkers.
Once you achieve your Antonov License, purchase 10 AN-225s and sell 10 A380-800Fs.

The only two best cargo planes: (do not buy any others than these two)

Aircraft: AN-225
Cost is $557,358,000
Pilots required: 6
Cabin crew required: 2
Mechanics required: 15
Cleaning required: 3
Check-in crew: 0
Supervisors: 4
Total staff: 24
Note: You can only own up to 5 of this A/C type unless you have acquired the Antonov License whereupon you can own a maximum of 15 units.
Type: Cargo
Capacity: 500,000 pounds
